This project began as part of our ongoing community journal MIMAZINA, made with MIMA (Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art). Each proposed creative task was presented as an article but also informed the look and feel of that particular issue.

In 2022 we worked with MIMA to present a series of Things To Do's from guest artists. As part of this process we curated a number of online workshop events led by Ciara Phillips, Katie Schwab, Kate Owens and Temporary Services.

In summer 2022 we will be making an anthology of these Things To Do – designed as a special publication.
